Review summary

The less crowded days when most people went on excursions. We found it very relaxing on these days.

At times it was difficult to order a drink, whether it was from a server or at the bar.  It was much easier on excursion days.

We were very concerned the first day.  It was difficult to get an elevator in an acceptable amount of time.  All the lines seemed too long.  However this seemed to get much better after the first day.  I thought the music and entertainment pool side after 2 pm was pretty lame and louder than need be and this is coming from a fairly hip senior.

Ship Quality

It is a big ship with lots of people. I give them credit that there were only a few times in which it showed. The first day which for them represented a Herculean task of getting people on and processing all their luggage in addition to serving everyone meals and drinks since the rooms were not ready for several hours later. Nearly most other times were more relaxed.

Comfortable, very friendly and conscientious steward.

Ship tip

To get a early start on disembarking, take advantage of their early leave program. You can only choose this if you need no assistance in getting off the ship and can handle all your baggage. We had reservations for a shuttle to the airport. We probably were among the first 50 people to leave.

Ports of call
